Best Way to Multi-track into Logic Pro 9?

Hey fam,

As the subject tin states... I'm looking for a good way to record my MPC into LP9. At the end of the day, simple multi-tracking and playing "live" from the MPC works but it is always a HUGE pain in the ass when I want to further arrange/edit the sequences.

It'd be ultimate to be able to record each sequence multi-tracked so I can drag it (as a whole) around as a block. This would allow for quick rearranging, editing, muting etc.
Where I'm at right now, my whole work flow completely slows to a grinding halt when it comes time for that stuff. If I record one long song from the MPC "live" into Logic... then making these lil' edits are near impossible and are buzz kills for sure.

Any solid way of recording each sequence into LP9 clean to promote a better in-the-DAW work flow? It is my least favorite part so I'd rather not drag it out.

...with a midi clock that slaves the mpc and an interface that is not getting lost in latency you should be able to record a whole mpc arrangement at once.....

it's all on grid though and you only got to make some overall cuts to get your mpc song parts back visible in the logic arrange again....4 bars here, 8 bars here....no prob...

with single sequences it's way more work and you get problems with cut continuity....

Hmmm... alright. So, MIDI slave. Definitely going to have to check into running stuff that way. Unfortunately, Logic only sends sync signal. Guess I'm going to have to dial in the MPC's BPM first then MIDI sync to Logic.

Is there a way to sync the MPC's transport controls to Logic's? AKA - when I press play in Logic the MPC would also start playing.

Yes, read on mmc.

Wrong.

Yes, MMC.
